Paxton Newborn Pictures

Hope you enjoy these photos of his newborn photo shoot!! I will do a catch up of the family over the summer once I get all my pictures in order!!

He's Here!!

 Our sweet baby boy is finally here!! He's been here for 3 weeks now, but I have been too busy loving him to think about blogging!! Paxton Kay Muir was born October 2nd, 2012 at 1:36 am.  He weighed 8 lbs and 5 oz.  and was 21.5 inches long!! I had gone to my appointment that day at 1:00 dilated to a 4 and 100% effaced. By 2:00 I was in my bed, hooked up, ready to have a baby.  I was having small contractions but really felt nothing and hadn't progressed at all so at 5:00 my doctor broke my water and started me on pitocen.  Not even 5 minutes after my water was broke I started feeling the contractions! So of course not long after that I got an epidural! The anesthesiologist was so quick and I didn't even feel a thing, and I was so thankful for him when the pain eased and I could just relax and visit with my crew! I had a full room.  Preston, my mom and sister, Preston's mom, then my dad and brothers visited later that night.  I was thankful for the company while I labored away!! At 9:00 I was ready to start pushing! Unfortunately Paxton was face up and after pushing for over 3 hours we just couldn't get him to turn or come under the pelvic bone.  So I ended up having to have a C- Section.  By that point I was so exhausted I didn't care how he came out! So Preston got in his operating room suit and hat and sat next to me while they operated.  He was so sweet holding my hand and rubbing my forehead.  I felt like I was in a dream...and I was SOO TIRED!! After they got Paxton out Preston sat him next to me so I could talk to him while they sutured everything up.  I was a little out of it but couldn't wait to just get back to my room and hold my baby!! Finally about an hour after I got to hold my sweet son! It was the most amazing feeling I've ever experienced! I can't imagine how much I love this sweet little man, and I grow to love him more and more everyday!!!

Then because of the C- Section I had some complications with my oxygen levels and then complications with the incision.  So we were in the hospital till Friday afternoon! Longest week of my life!! But I was so thankful for all my friends and family that stopped by to visit.  The girls came and met their brother and that was another sweet experience I'll never forget.  Maycee was (and still is) infatuated with her little brother (see the picture of her trying to see him while he's in his bed).  And of course I'm most thankful for Preston who was there with my pretty much every second...sleeping on a very uncomfortable bed, and catering to my every need.  Here we are 3 weeks later and he still is taking care of me, I am the luckiest woman to have a man that loves me so much and is willing to do all he's done!!

Let the Hunt Begin!

Well it is finally here!! The day that my sweet man has been preparing for!! THE ELK HUNT HAS BEGUN!! We kicked off the hunt on the mountain all weekend.  He saw some bulls, but nothing big enough to shoot.  The girls enjoyed being on the mountain and seeing who could get covered in the most dirt!! We have a nice little camp with all our trailers! It was fun to spend the weekend with all the family, and have other friends and family drive up to visit! I'm sure we will spend many more weekends up there till the hunt is over, so wish us luck!! Hopefully we will have pictures of a BIG ONE....SOON!!!!

Mckenzie Family Reunion

We had a great time at our family reunion with our trailer! We had a little bit of a leaking problem but have got it figured out! We went fishing and did crafts! Had a great dinner and a good auction! Then at night we lit some lanterns and some of the men played horseshoes in the dark! It was quite entertaining! When we went to leave Sunday it was pouring rain!! We had to pull a group of people out with Preston's parents ranger.  The red mud was way to slick for most of them.  But we made it home safe and had a great time! 

 

 Maycee fell asleep in the pack while we fished

 Preston caught lots of fish!

 Kaydee caught this fish, saw it was bloody and FREAKED OUT! Ran back to Grandma Jo, she was DONE fishing after seeing the fish that way!

 Kaydee reeling in her fish!!

 Dad helping her finish reeling it in!

 Kaydee's excitement when the fish was finally reeled in....before the blood of course!

 Maycee awake and happy :)

 Our camp all set up! We had the canopy set up with the camp chef underneath! And of course Preston's new bike...good lookin eh?? Somebody must really love him ;)

Getting ready to head down to fish, little close up of our camp.

 The girls fast asleep on the table bed!  They slept great!

Kaydee and Kirra's crafts they made!

Getting our home away from home ready!

Preston bought a trailer about 5 years ago and did a little work to it, but other than that it sat for 5 years! We almost sold it, but then decided to fix it up and use it for ourselves!! Preston and his dad fixed the roof and the water tank.  Then my helper Makaydee and I cleaned and scrubbed till it looked good as new! Then we stalked it up with everything we needed and headed to a family reunion.  More pictures to come of the reunion but here are some of the trailer! P.S.......WE LOVE OUR TRAILER!!! :)

Maycee turns 1!!!!!!

Our baby girl is now a big 1 year old!! I can't believe how fast she is growing up, she stands up without any help and has taken a couple of steps....soon she'll be running around!! And her personality is just blossoming.  She's a lot different than her big sister and she keeps us on our toes wondering what she will do next! We love her SO much!! Here is a slide show of her big day!! Thanks to everyone for coming and helping us celebrate Maycee turning ONE!!
